Absolutely brilliant video. Tons of awesome information. Thanks so much for this.

[@Di12750]

Way, way back my parents went on a camping/fishing trip along the Cabot Trail, nine months later I was born in Digby. I now live on the prairies but am homesick for my Nova Scotia home, each and every day.

[@vladpaly4640]

Thank you for the great video. Definitely I should go to visit Cabot trail.

[@shanebrown5709]

Alot of places on our island are in French, English and Gaelic,Uisage ban is Gaelic meaning white water I am glad u saw a little bit of this island,come again

[@bennysworld16]

I survived Cabot trail in Nova Scotia is beautiful Island and scenic driving

[@MALOULOPEZ]

breathtaking view! never been in such as beautiful as that! stay blessed mam!

[@ibapa888]

Great video and amazing scenery! Thanks for sharing.

[@ThePlanetD]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.

[@karenporter4227]

I'm heading out to the Cabot Trail in a little over a month. Can't wait to add some of these stops to my trip.

[@ThePlanetD]

Hope you had a great time!

[@ThreeStarVagabond]

That's an amazing road! And so much fun to do and see along the way. Alright, one day I will get my butt over there.

[@ThePlanetD]

It really is an amazing road. And it’s not too long so all of the attractions are close together. You don’t have to drive far to each one.

[@ThreeStarVagabond]

@@ThePlanetD That makes it even better! I don't mind driving, but it's great to have adventures conveniently located sometimes...

[@sivayamsiva9343]

Beautiful place thanks for sharing very nice video 👌👌👌

[@ThePlanetD]

Thank you very much. The Cabot Trail is really a stunning place in Canada.

[@Tnegreiros]

Nice video guys with amazing tips! thank you :)

[@ThePlanetD]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. And hopefully we'll be able to get out east again soon!

[@firebladeclements]

Well done video with a varied array of spots all along the trail! Just sayin as I sit on our front porch looking at middlehead trail and The Freshwater Lake! Mon back down north anytime!!

[@ThePlanetD]

Thank you so much! And lucky you having your front porch at the Middlehad Trail. It's so beautiful there.

[@sueweatherby3729]

Great video, but did I miss where you covered Cheticamp? One of my favorite places on the Trail!

[@johnbinder3133]

Great video - very informative. I especially appreciated the clear maps that you had. What app did you use to create them?

[@dbeaudo1]

I enjoy the video a lot, We will be there in August 2023 (11 days PEI and 12 Days on Cabot trail only. We plan to do a mix of Golf and Hicking. I'm a sports photographer for living, but my passion is to take sea and landscapes and I think it will be a paradise for this.

[@ThePlanetD]

That sounds like it is going to be a great trip! Enjoy and let us know how you like it.

[@hbelle14]

Beautiful🥰thank u

[@WaslonLopes]

I loved this video, specially the Alexander Granham Bell site because I am a professor of Telecommunications Engineering.

[@ThePlanetD]

Wow! That is so cool. It was a cool places to visit. We live near Brantford Ontario here in Canada where Alexander Graham Bell made his first phone call from his Homestead. I'll have to do a video this summer to go with this one to show where he worked on his inventions here!

[@WaslonLopes]

WOW. I will really appreciate that video and I will use it to illustrate my talk about fixed telephony.

[@ThePlanetD]

@@WaslonLopes It's settled then. I'll definitely visit it. I live 20 minutes from there. When it opens up after COVID I look forward to visiting.

[@clydemacdougall1953]

Great place but you would think that the pay phone outside would work?Just seems to make sense.

[@ODriscolls]

This is such a great road trip! Local approved lol.

[@ThePlanetD]

Thanks very much! It means a lot when a local enjoys it. Cheers!

[@amyagustin-scott2646]

Hi guys! Very very nice! I just have to ask- are there sccomodations halfway to finishing Cabot Trail? I would prefer to take my time..Thanks!

[@timothybyers]

Enjoyed our time there. The hurricane? We could have done without that. Friendly people those maritimers!

[@fogsmart]

We did the trail counterclockwise. My wife and I took a few detours to places like the 6 fishing villages and the Smokey Mountain gondola as the “money shot, ahhh” views weren’t as plentiful like we experienced on the Oregon or California coast, but we are both from Vancouver Island, BC and wanted to see our counterpart on the east coast.

[@ThePlanetD]

We didn't do the Smokey Mountain Gondola. We'll have to do that next time.

[@dennisschwartzentruber3204]

Cape Breton stands by herself and holds her own !

[@foghornleghorn2445]

I grew up there. Great people. If you break down or run into trouble, knock at the nearest door. You'll be fed, helped, and invited back for Thanksgiving dinner.

[@ThePlanetD]

That is a great tip! The East Coasters are the friendliest peiople in Canada.

[@heartofoak4503]

Great video, but just an update to the Uisge Ban falls, the first 80% is easy trails but the last 20% is quite rugged, crawling over boulders and tree roots. The roads into the Provincial park are quite rough in spots and you are in a remote area

[@ThePlanetD]

Thanks for the update. I guess we didn't make it to the last 20% :)

[@niranjanmolkeri3391]

Really awesome video guys. What time of the year were you guys there? I just moved from California to Toronto. I wanna do this drive over a week. I am concerned about more people in summer, trails being crowded, hotels being booked. Yellowstone national park just had 458k visitors just alone in May 2021. Hope this area is not that crowded.

[@offgridliving1196]

Busy in NS will be nothing compared to what you consider busy. We just went last minute during the busy season and still had no trouble finding places to stay

[@SandyWilliams-ks5yq]

My husband and I are heading there next month. What are accommodations like?

[@advaitmandlik3901]

Amazing video. Small and Detailed !!

[@niceboy6088]

I there today 😅

[@michaellam8919]

Hi, will will be heading there this summer. Ferry will be stopping at Yarmouth. What is the best road to starts and drive on the Cabot trail? How many days do i need and best lodging to stay? Thank you.

[@ThePlanetD]

Yarmouth is in the south of Nova Scotia, so you will need to make your way north of Halifax. The road is one ring road that is easy to follow and there are options for BnBs, camping and some hotels. I would recommend 2-4 days for the Cabot Trail depending on how much hiking you want to do. Enjoy! Southern Nova Scotia is amazing as well. We have another video that highlights the South Shore from Yarmouth to Halifax and includes Lunenburg and Peggy's Cove. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6Hbi4CBe6ykmqc&pp=ygUWdGhlcGxhbmV0ZCBub3ZhIHNjb3RpYQ%3D%3D

[@jennv2324]

Do you have recommendations of where to stay?

[@itsonlymyopinionok8115]

Wish I could walk that distance..

[@madhuravi6953]

We made plans twice but had to cancel both times unfortunately. Hopefully we get to see this beautiful place sometime soon. What month did you guys go?

[@ThePlanetD]

We were there at the end of July. So right at the height of the tourist season. It was great weather at that time.

[@fishing_amy]

No better place than CB

[@ThePlanetD]

It is a beautiful place isn't it?

[@niceboy6088]

Will tell you tomorrow

[@tonywoo9435]

Nice video! However, do we need a permit to fly drones in the national park? THX!

[@ThePlanetD]

Yes, you need a permit to fly drones in any national park. We didn’t fly our drone in the national park, we only flew it when we were outside the park.

[@thomasboyce2031]

It’s a hard G in Margaree.

[@ThePlanetD]

Thanks for the clarification.

[@thomasboyce2031]

@@ThePlanetD You’re welcome.

Baddeck is pronounced -Bah-deck!

[@Logan_re]

Where's meat cove!!! Personally my favorite spot on the Cabot trail

[@firebladeclements]

Lol, it's not on the Cabot Trail. But well worth the drive off, non the less!

[@chrissysnowmusic799]

Jam on banana bread??? 🤔🥺

[@PaulEBarrie99]

Cape Breton has the most beautiful sunsets...I recommend doing the trail counter clockwise...Tom's Pizza in Baddeck is top notch, but there's other good restaurants as well...Ingonish Beach is a definite stop if the sun is shining

[@ThePlanetD]

Thanks for the tips!

[@elizabethburke791]

I enjoyed the scenery but you went back and forth with your narration and didn’t follow any sequence in order around the trail. It felt disguncted.

[@Motor.vivasayi]

Hi bro can I join you bro

[@ThePlanetD]

Sure come along! ;)

[@Motor.vivasayi]

@@ThePlanetD thanks bro but I'm in India

[@ThePlanetD]

@@Motor.vivasayi We look forward to coming back to India one day! Cheers

[@Motor.vivasayi]

@@ThePlanetD OK bro

[@alecedgeworth2814]

It’s pronounced Ba-deck

[@wallypaige8496]

So this is no good for seniors

[@ThePlanetD]

Seniors can definitely do this. Perhaps not all the hiking but there are plenty of scenic stops and it is mostly a road trip.
